High Protein Options for After Work-Out Snacking #HillshireSnackPros
Fitness has become a new way of life for me, really it has become addicting! I love what it is doing for my health, attitude and overall energy. Speaking of energy, having a more active lifestyle has required a lot more protein to keep me going.
I’ve been searching for new sources of protein to eat after my workouts, many of them being high in calories too. It’s hard to find the right balance, you don’t want to undo an entire workout with a 250 calorie protein bar!
Then I ran into Hillshire Snacks.
Hillshire Snacking features premium meats like grilled, seasoned chicken breast and hand crafted salami, and at least 15g of protein per serving.
Available in 8 different varieties, including Grilled Chicken Bites paired with Teriyaki or Sweet Chili dipping sauce and Small Plates with Genoa Salami and Gouda, Hillshire Snacking options are perfectly portioned for an everyday snack at home or on-the-go, no prep required.
I love chili sauce and decided to give the Hillshire grilled chicken with sweet chili sauce a try. The package gives you an option to eat it cold or to heat it up, being on the go doesn’t give me an option to warm it up so cold it was!
Nutritional wise, these tasty little chicken bites are perfect for my after work-out snack. Each package has 140 calories and 15g of protein, coming out to a points value of 3 points plus.
I’ve grown really fond of these bite size snacks, they give me lots of energy after my work-outs and I’ve even found that they are perfect for really busy days.
I share a lot of my weight watchers stuff on Instagram with a large community of support, yesterday I shared my lunch because it was one of those “finger foods” kind of lunch days.
You can find new Hillshire Snacking varieties in the refrigerated aisle of Cincinnati, OH, Dayton, OH and Northern Kentucky Kroger stores, as well as at King Soopers and Super Target stores nationwide.
I had a little trouble finding them, but hopefully they will be everywhere soon. I love them as part of my weight watchers plan!
I think I’m going to have to find the sweet chili one now! I love that they are guten free!
These sound exactly like what I’ve been looking for! An in-between snack with less guilt! Have to find these now!
OKAY – I NEED these in my life! I am going to have to hunt & maybe harass my local Target until they arrive, as that’s the only store on the list that is in our area.
I seen these at the store the other day. I don’t know why I didn’t buy them when I seen them but I for sure will next time!
I’m gluten-free so I love finding options like this. Since I work from home and all kids are in school, this would be perfect for me to eat instead of cooking myself lunch for one.
I have never seen these before! What a great idea, healthy snacking can be so hard!
I have not seen these yet. I agree they would be great protein snack for after a workout!
These are great!! I would love to get back into shape and food is the first place I need help!
These sound perfect for on the go for a busy mom like myself! I so need to check these out!
That sounds yummy. I’ve never actually eaten chicken after a workout though. I tend to lean toward protein drinks since I’m SO thirsty afterwards.
wow, i love snacks that are ready to go. this might be something my daughter would like in her lunch box.
I had no idea that chicken had that much protein! What a great snack this is! Yum!
Okay, those are just super-awesome. I am totally going to keep my eyes opened for them. I always need a quick after workout pick me up and those are perfect. Thanks for sharing.
My hubby is always on the look out for high protein snacks after workouts! These look amazing, love that you can dip them in sauce of choice!
I was getting nervous I wouldn’t be able to find these until you mentioned Target. *sigh of relief* These look great.
I am always looking for new high protein snacks. I love Sweet chili flavor and chicken so this is perfect for me.
I had no idea they even made these, I just have to pick some up on my next trip! Also, you had me at sweet chili – my fave!
This looks like a tasty way to get some high quality post-workout protein in. Thanks!
What a great little snack pack. This sounds delicious!
That sounds like a great after workout snack to me. Yum!
